A little more Blazing Saddles
Taggart:I got it! I got it!
Hedley Lamarr:You do?
Taggart:We'll work up a Number 6 on 'em.
Hedley Lamarr:[frowns] "Number 6"? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that one.
Taggart:Well, that's where we go a-ridin' into town, a-whompin' and a-whumpin' every livin' thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.
Hedley Lamarr:You spare the women?
Taggart:Naw, we rape the shit out of them at the Number Six Dance later on.
Hedley Lamarr:Marvelous!
More Blazing Saddles
Bart:Mornin', ma'am. And isn't it a lovely mornin'?

Blazing Saddles
Governor William J. Le Petomane:What the hell is this?
Hedley Lamarr:This is the bill that will convert the state hospital for the insane into the William J. Le Petomane memorial gambling casino for the insane.
Governor William J. Le Petomane:Gentlemen, this bill will be a giant step forward in the treatment of the insane gambler.
Blazing Saddles (1974) Directed by Mel Brooks
From Wikipedia: In the scene where Lamarr addresses his band of bad guys, he says, “You men are only risking your lives, while I am risking an almost-certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor!” Harvey Korman did not, in fact, get an Oscar nod, but the film did receive three other Academy Awards nominations in 1975: Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Madeline Kahn, Best Film Editing, and Best Music, Original Song. The film also nabbed two BAFTA awards nominations, for Best Newcomer (Cleavon Little) and Best Screenplay.
The film won the Writers Guild of America Award for “Best Comedy Written Directly for the Screen” for writers Mel Brooks, Norman Steinberg, Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, and Alan Uger.
In 2006, Blazing Saddles was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” The American film critic Dave Kehr queried if the historical significance of Blazing Saddles lay in the fact that it was the first film from a major studio to have a fart joke.
